Red Rice Yeast contains a variety of compounds called monacolins. Monacolins have been clinically tested and shown to inhibit the activity of an enzyme in the liver that is needed to produce cholesterol. In addition, Red Rice Yeast contains a mix of sterols (sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol), isoflavones and unsaturated fatty acids, which also contribute to maintaining cholesterol at optimal levels.
